NEW SW FEATURES

This
release introduce the following features:

SW is ready to manage the IR Band: when customer decides to
increase the network capacity upgrading the network with IR band in its
system neither SW agent nor upgrade is necessary from the supervision SW
point of view, since TL1 agent is already able to manage the IR units.

SW is ready to manage OSU-W unit that support 1+1 optical
protection ;

Multi-bay Management: with CMP-W-2E the new
CMP architecture allow to overcome the limitation in the number of
addressable subracks. This limitation is now overtaken with the a redesign
of CMP architecture, no more constraints nor limitation is present;

oCommissioning:
consists of the
capability to collect from the Network Element the subset of the necessary
parameters and relative values to allow Field Personnel to perform the Network
Commissioning (e.g. the Optical Power thresholds) operation;

oTroubleshooting:
it is the
capability of collecting all parameters, thresholds and values from the Network
Element to increase the capability to locate, also from remote location any
possible problem in the network.

CPLT
3.0: through
